Chapter 5181: Gilded! I
Seated upon the jagged edges of a multicolored shard of floating rock that drifted through the inverted and unpredictable currents of The Wandering Territories, Noah experienced the profound and transformative silence of THE Absolute Humilitas Ego of Infinity, a state that felt less like a mask he had donned and more like a fundamental realignment of his very soul.
When he took on this specific transformation, he actually felt as if his very thoughts and everything about his internal architecture were perfectly aligned with this one singular amplified ego, for the fierce and tyrannical ambition that usually drove him was replaced by a quiet and terrifying clarity that required no assertion of the self.
Even if he chose to speak out loud in this desolate and shimmering landscape, his voice came out filled with the gentle and patient qualities of this ego, his demeanor and his every movement radiating a quality of surrender that was an astonishing and glorious change to feel compared to his usual tyrannical and calculating self.
It was to the point that even as he waited for the arrival of the clandestine contact from THE Magna Sorora, he felt an unbound sense of patience as if whatever would arrive would arrive exactly when it was meant to arrive, a state of peace and serenity that he had never truly expected to find within the chaotic path of his own progression.
As he waited, the hours began to pass with the slow and unhurried rhythm of the inverted light waterfalls nearby, and during these hours he utilized his reach to check on many things across the expanding horizons of his influence.
He checked on Alexander and THE Great Usurper, who had not asked for his intervention despite the monumental changes that had unfolded across THE Wyld, as they seemed to be dealing with the shifting circumstances on their own terms with a resilience that satisfied his expectations.
Even THE Primordial Paradox did not ask anything of him when Noah reached out across their shared understanding, for the ancient being stated with a detached calm that he was currently dealing with something paradoxical on his own and required no external support to maintain his standing.
A tremendous number of things continued to occur within the depths of THE Infiniverse during this quiet time, as Noah continued to outline the transformations that his people could eventually go through while uniquely designing their Hadean engineering based on the data he was learning from reverse-engineering the inner components of the Gilded Gerousia.
During these passing hours, he monitored the many activities within his domain and the movements of his allies, but eventually he raised his eyes filled with a terrifying and quiet humility toward the sky, for he felt the very fabric of the Wyld begin to shatter under the weight of an arrival that surpassed the previous descent of Elzyana.
Terrifying auras of Gilded Ones began to descend in a storm of gold and authority, their figures manifesting with a structural complexity that spoke of eons of existential engineering, and Noah watched with a clinical eye as the rigid hierarchy of their civilization revealed itself in the sky.
He sensed ten Superbius Gilded Ones who were wearing regal golden clothing and shining with a pride that sought to overwrite the very air they occupied, their every movement conveying the casual inevitability of those who were born to rule without question.
They were accompanied by twenty Ira Gilded Ones who wore heavy crimson armaments and radiated a profound and violent wrath, yet even these martial enforcers stood with a respectful distance from the Superbius, acting as the sharp blades in the hands of their sovereign masters.
"Ho?"
He had not seen this many Gilded Ones before as their interactions revealed new things!
Following these were five hundred Gula Gilded Ones burning with authority, their figures being either regally fat or immensely muscular while draped in silver robes that shimmered with the essence of their industrial gluttony, and finally a thousand Luxuria Gilded Ones.
These Luxuria were adorned in pink and possessed a beauty that was so unfathomable it threatened to unweave the senses of any Bounded lifeform who dared to gaze upon them, yet Noah noticed with a calm heart that they stood as nothing more than living ornaments, their engineered forms positioned to maximize the aesthetic splendor of others they served.
As soon as this many Gilded Ones arrived, space fluctuated with a sudden and intense ripple as eight Sororis also arrived from the higher domains, all of them uniquely shining with a brand of Superbius Pride that marked them as daughters of THE Magna Sorora.
Noah observed the mannerisms of these sovereign women as they landed, noting how they spoke only to the ten Superbius males and females as if they were the only entities in the sky worthy of horizontal communication, while the Ira warriors stood in a state of aggressive readiness that required no orders to maintain.
The Superbius issued directives to others with the same disregard a man might show to the tools in his workshop, and Noah watched as the Gula and Luxuria moved with a total lack of independent ego to fulfill the requirements of the occupation!
Multiple parties began to coalesce with the clinical efficiency of a deployment, where a single Superbius Gilded One stood at the vanguard while the crimson-clad Ira followed behind as the instruments of their will, and the silver-robed Gula and the radiant Luxuria were distributed as the necessary infrastructure for the coming era of change!
Noah’s expression became calm and heavy as he watched the scale of the deployment through the eyes of his dispersed Infinity.
He did not expect so fucking many Gilded Ones!
As Noah tracked the movements of THE Gilded forces that were even now carving their names into the substrate of THE Wyld, he sensed space cracking open a few gigaparsecs away from his current coordinate within the inverted reaches of the Wandering Territories, for another Gilded One had descended away from the main deployment.
This newcomer appeared directly within the shimmering and chaotic valleys of the Territories, and when she emerged from the fractured reality, Noah observed her as she spread a veiled aura out across the local space as if she were searching for a specific signature that had been promised to her.
